WordPress Newsletters plugin v3.7.5

WordPress Newsletters pluginWe are proud to announce the release of WordPress Newsletters plugin version 3.7.5. There are a number of additions, improvements and changes to this release of the newsletters plugin.

The plugin allows you to create and maintain mailing lists and send out newsletters to your customers and blog visitors. It integrates seamlessly in WordPress and a post or page can be used to generate a Newsletter. It also works stand alone, meaning you can create a specific newsletter that you want to send out in the editor. There are many free newsletter templates available for download and with a little work you can easily integrate one or more of these into your mailing lists. The best feature about this plugin is that it allows you to give your users to subscribe to different newsletters that you have so they do not receive topical information on other subjects that they have not signed up for.

Newsletters is our flagship product. We use it on our own sites, including this news blog to send out this update which you are reading right now. It gets blasted out to thousands of subscribers/customers of ours.

With the release of tablets by many of the leading manufactures early this year communication is becoming more and more paperless. People expect to communicate and be informed by electronic means. Recently a survey was reported on the BBC that even the big newspapers such as the Times, Guardian  etc are being forced into this new burst of 21st evolution, so if you have not geared up yet to keep in contact with your visitors and clients now is the time to start. Don’t worry if your business is subscription based. Our plugin caters for that to.

    Can your plug-in be used anytime a post is updated?

    Example:
    1) you set-up a mail form
    2) that email form is specific to particular post,
    3) client sign in to get updates on that post
    4) everytime that post is updated, he will receive an email

    Possible?

    Thanks
